10 On Page SEO Tips To Apply Immediately Before You Do Backlinking

Before I start heavy backlinking process, I always want to make sure on page SEO is good enough so that SEO will be effective. Here is my 10 tips that can be easily applied immediately:

Feel free contribute to the list

1. Domain Name

Go for exact match keyword in your domain. For example, if the keyword you would like to rank for is “dog training”, you would want your domain to be DogTraining.com. What happen if the domain name is not available? You can try to register .net or .org.

2. Keyword in URL

Let’s say you have an article or a post about dog training product review. You would want the keyword appear in the URL, such as: DogTrainingTips.com/Dog-Training-Product-Review instead of just displaying an ugly URL such as DogTrainingTips.com/p=561?.

3. Keyword in the Title, Description and Keyword Meta Tag

You should have your keyword placed in those 3 meta tags field and have a compelling title & description in order to attract more click through from the search results.

You can use All In One SEO Pack plugin to easily edit these meta tag else just use any html editor to edit them.

4. Keyword in HEADING Tags

Heading is a great way to be used to organize your content so that it is easy to navigate by the readers. Spend some time to use different headings in your content with your keyword at the beginning of your Heading.

5. Keyword Density

Ideally, you should have a keyword density of 2% to 5%. For example if your blog post is 500 words in total, there should be around 10 to 25 keywords in your blog post. However, remember your post must be read by human, not just for search engine bots. Don't over do it

6. Keyword in the First and Last Sentence
The keyword position does play a role so try to put your keyword in the first and last sentence of your blog post or article.

7. Bold, Italicize and Underline your Keyword
Let Google know that the bold, italicized and underlined keyword is the one that you pay attention in your blog post.

8. Image Should Contain Keyword
Search engine can’t read image yet so they will rely on the description of the image. Look at the image tag below:
<img src=”image/dogtrainingtips.jpg” alt=”Dog Training Tips” width=”250” height=”250” />

The first description is the file name of the image and the 2nd description is the ALT tag. Based on the description, Google will then know the image is related to dog training tips.

9. Internal Linking of Your Blog Post

Linking some keywords within your blog post body to your other relevant blog posts.
At the bottom of each blog post, include links to related articles within the particular keyword theme.

You can also use Yet Another Related Posts Plugin that can assist to put in relevant post at the end of each blog post.

10. Add NoFollow Tags to Unimportant Links

Any link point to “About Us” & “Contact Us” page should be no follow as well. This will help to conserve internal link juice. All you do is to add a NoFollow Tag as shown below: <a href=”http://www.YourSite.com/contact-us” rel=”nofollow”> Contact Us</a>

I think steps are good for new Seo's but nothing news for experts..

 

that's called seo onpage
that's very good to try

 

Thank for chip in These are fundamental yet solid OPSEO tips that we all can apply straight to our site. Nothing fancy only solid tips that are proven

Yup, absolutely In fact, people are buying some plugins just to let it tell you these info so that you will be reminded along the way when you drafting out your post.

 

Nice tips shared thanks

 

Great tips, thanks for the helpful post.

 

good tips. I am the fist to admit I hat on page SEO. I'm more of a link builder type person. lol. I really should try these.

 

Welcomed!

Thanks mate! Glad you found it useful

lol! I must admit link building is extremely powerful! I have actually tried it on a squeeze page without great OPSEO (it is a squeeze page, what do you expect? lol) Over 4 months, I finally hit the top 5 of 1st page of Google for a decent search volume keyword (2000 exact match). Not too bad consider it is by brute force backlinking effort. However, I found it a lot easier to rank when I have OPSEO optimized. This is about weeks comparing to months!

So, give it a go. It won't cost you lots of time but the benefit you can get is priceless

 

Nice information for new SEO, it will helpful for freshers.

 

I agree with you, I already do this.. thanks for sharing

 

Right on the money. Very important steps to remember. Evergreen words and are very often neglected. Thanks for remembering.

 

Nice tips. Thanks for sharing.

 

If you use keywords with Bold, Italicize and Underline, you will be penalised by Google.

 

Welcomed!

Good stuff

Yeah. This is good practice for OPSEO!

No worries!

Haven't experienced that...

 

Its a onpage technique which is very essential for any website .

 

Good steps for those who haven't heard about what SEO is all about already but nothing in here that will amuse us, anyway good to see that we are all reminded of the basics from time to time.

 

There is a staff at Google who said on YouTube (can't remember his name) who said that the meta keyword tag is not useful and may as well just be left out. (he said it does not do anything for SEO anymore)

 

about adding no follow links, I was going to do it but I just read this. http://www.labnol.org/internet/drop-nofollow-from-internal-links/14107/

What should I do xD

 

These are very common as well as very useful Tips!!!
Weldone, Keep it up...

if your blog post is 500 words in total, there should be around 10 to 25 keywords in your blog post, i think 10-12 keywords is effective so content will look like informative.
